I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Joe Wikert who has the blog Publishing 2020 Blog, also authors a blog about Amazon’s new ebook reader the Kindle.
Called Kindleville, there info both interesting and not so interesting about this ebook reader. Because it’s Amazon and because it uses epaper I think it may be the precursor to the really great ebook reader I’m waiting for.
By the way, today Amazon is still sold out of Kindles, or is it sold out again… I’m not sure. It is available at ebay, mostly for a premium… no clue what it all means.

When I first heard about the Kindle, I was really excited. The video on their sales page really does a good job. But then I read more about it.
And then I read about the Sony Reader, which is cheaper, and in some ways better.
So I got that for my birthday instead. And I LOVE it. Reading on the Sony Reader is great.
I’d like to get my hands on a kindle and just see how good the epaper really is.
Well, the Sony Reader has a similar display and it really looks like paper. It’s very convincing. I imagine the Kindle’s is the same, or better.
What sold me on the Kindle is the wireless connectivity, with free access to the Web for basic reference while I’m reading – plus how easy it is to change the size of the fonts.
hmmmm, you tempt me ;)
